My daughter is called Francesca but we all shorten it to Frankie or Cesca. Frankie suits her perfectly! She’s a little sweetheart but with a mischievous side!

Frankie would also be acceptable in its own right but I do love the longer versions

Francis is the masculine version, my son is nn Frankie. Frances is feminine.
